(EXLIBRIS). RINDHOLT, Svend - Kristen Rasmussens personlige exlibris. (Entirely handwritten book with nice binding).

Copenhagen, self-'published', 1959-1960. Three-quarter morocco with marbled boards and endpapers. 62 deckle-edged leaves of handmade paper written on one side in blue ink, and illustrated with many pasted-in bookplates (partly erotic) and some photos from Rasmussen's library. With a bookplate drawn by hand in ink by H.C.B. = Barenhold. According to the title page written in three copies; this is no. 1 with a bookplate by Kristen Rasmussen on the inside upper cover. 4 loose bookplates. Spine faded, boards possibly slightly browned. Inserted is a three-page handwritten letter in Danish from Svend Rindholt to 'Kare Kristen [Rasmussen]', dated 7/2 1960. In 1970 a printed book by Rindholt about collector Rasmussen's personal bookplates was published. Strikingly beautiful book binding. Kristen Rasmussen (1901-1984) was a great Danish collector and enthusiast of bookplates. A most attractive specially made personal book - maybe one can call it a book by an artist roué for a roué collector, this in a time when erotica were still frowned on.
